Rediscover love and laughter on the Staten Island Ferry in this heartwarming comedy about second chances and unexpected reunions.
Glamorous Gilda is bothered by a scruffy man, Leon, on a ferry, and tries everything to prevent him from striking up a conversation. After all, sometimes a person just wants to be left alone. But Leon is a man on a mission. He’s been dreaming about this day for decades. And today, he’ll do everything in his power to make sure history doesn’t repeat itself.
From the Playwright:
A friend of mine wondered what had happened to someone from his past. Someone he met only once and only for a day. That’s how much of an impression that person made on him. He wondered how different his life would have been if he had known her longer. Perhaps she was his soul mate. He had tried to find her again but had no success. Probably married with different last name. I decided to write a play where my characters did reconnect.

Perfect for senior performers, The Ferry Tale blends humor, nostalgia, and hope into an unforgettable ride across life’s waters. – C. Rouge, Senior Theatre Director
